DELETE SSH Service Accounts ID

The DELETE /SSHClosed The SSH (secure shell) protocol provides for secure connections between computers. It provides several options for authentication, including public key, and protects the communications with strong encryption./ServiceAccounts/{id} method is used to delete an SSH service account in Keyfactor Command, including its SSH key pairClosed In asymmetric cryptography, public keys are used together in a key pair with a private key. The private key is retained by the key's creator while the public key is widely distributed to any user or target needing to interact with the holder of the private key.. This endpointClosed An endpoint is a URL that enables the API to gain access to resources on a server. returns 204 with no content upon success.

Tip:  The following permissions (see Security Roles and Claims) are required to use this feature:
/ssh/server_admin/
OR
/ssh/enterprise_admin/

SSH actions are affected by ownership on the server group with which the key is associated and limited for users with only the Server Admin (/ssh/server_admin/) role. For more information, see SSH Permissions.

Table 747: DELETE SSH Service Accounts {id} Input Parameters

Name In Description
id Path Required. An integer indicating the Keyfactor Command reference ID for the SSH service account to be deleted.

Use the GET /SSH/ServiceAccounts method (see GET SSH Service Accounts) to retrieve a list of all the SSH service accounts to determine the service account's ID.

Tip:  Be sure to use the ID of the service account itself and not the ID of the service account user or service account's key within the service account. For example, notice the following record returned from a GET /SSH/ServiceAccounts:
Copy

   "Id": 2,
   "ClientHostname": "appsrvr80.keyexample.com",
   "ServerGroup": {

It contains three IDs:

  • ID 2 (line 2): The service account's ID. Use this one for delete requests.

  • ID 7 (line 10): The service account user's ID.

  • ID 36 (line 12): The ID of the service account user's key.
